FairPoint upgrades increase high-speed internet across Sebec

SEBEC — FairPoint Communications announced the completion of a broadband upgrade project in Sebec. As a result of this project, faster broadband speeds are available to approximately 200 locations in the community – some addresses for the first time.

“Internet access has transformed the way we live, and that is even more evident in rural states like Maine,” said Mike Reed, FairPoint’s Maine state president. “For businesses, internet access means faster connections to customers and suppliers that can make the world their marketplace, while families gain access to entertainment, shopping and educational resources that were once truly a world away. The men and women of FairPoint take pride in increasing broadband speeds and extending access across our state, and we are pleased to make this broadband investment here in Sebec.”
